Topic: Slow Worm spotted (and rescued!)
Hi, I live in Essex and last night rescued a Slow Worm! I wasn't sure at first, but suspected that's what it was, and confirmed this morning when looking at descriptions and pics on the internet. He (I suspect, from the descriptions) was on his way across the road leading into our culdesac and had been cornered by one of the local cats. To avoid him getting squished, I stuck the car across the road - hazards flashing! - shoo-ed off the cat and (having summoned up my inner Steve Irwin!) moved the little fella over to the foliage in the direction he was headed. He quickly slithered into the undergrowth. Do I need to report this? I know they're fairly common, but just wondered if it would be of interest to a local conservation group or something? Regards, Neil |
